We were initially a little hesitant purchasing blinds online, but it turned out to be a great experience. All of the blinds came in a timely manner and they were very easy to install. Customer service was very helpful when we called with some questions. We saved a lot of money as compared to ordering in store and I am very happy with that!

Tips: Order the samples! They deliver quickly and the help you know exactly what you are ordering since they can differ from the picture slightly. Open all boxes before install as the detailed instructions are only included in one box. I used the ones sent in a confirmation email, however the ones included in the shipment were better detailed. It also included tips on how to level and adjust the blinds if they were off. Ours were off and at first we thought they were broken but once we open the last box and found the instructions we were able to easily adjust them. If ordering the black out blinds be aware that some light will come in through the sides if you do not measure perfectly. It is not a bothersome to us but could bother other people. If you want complete black out maybe look at a different option with the side tracks so that light cannot enter there

All around a great purchase and experience! Will recommend and purchase again! Thank you!

The quality of these blinds is equivalent to competitors' products that sell for more money. I was able to step up my features and still save. I found the web site very easy to use and informative. There wasn't a question left unanswered. And my blinds arrived on schedule. My husband installed them easily (the competition wanted $75 per blind).

I'm not much of an online shopper so I was very hesitant about purchasing blinds online. The customer service was fantastic, they were delivered on time, they were easy to install and they look great! I am very happy with the blinds and I would not hesitate to shop through SelectBlinds.ca again!

Choose the 1/2" Single Cell Designer Signature (Good Housekeeping) Blackout Honeycomb for those areas of the home where the blackout option is needed such as media rooms. These blackout shades are ideal for nurseries as they feature all the safety benefits you are looking for and will keep the room dark during nap time. With over a dozen colors to choose from, you’ll be sure to find the right color that complements your décor. Please Note That these shades DO NOT have a fabric wrapped headrail

These shades are blackout rated - 4.5 out of 5If you are looking for a greater degree of blackout (only a rating of 5 will ensure virtually complete darkness), please see our selection of other blackout blinds and shades.

Note: Inside mounted blackout shades might have a small light gap on the edges of the shade. If you would prefer no light gaps, please consider ordering outside mounted blackout shades.

Measuring Instructions for Cellular Shades

Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).

Take the smallest of the three measurements.

Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.

*Headrail will be made 1/4" less than width ordered, including endcaps. Fabric will be made 1/2 inch less than width ordered.

*Exceptions:
3/4" Express Light Filter Cordless headrail and fabric will be 1/4" smaller than
width ordered. 1/2" Double Cell Light Filter Extreme Honeycomb headrail and fabric will be made 3/8” smaller than width ordered. End caps add approximately 1/8" width to the
headrail

Please be sure to measure exactly as instructed BUT NOT TAKE OFF ANYTHING FROM THE MEASUREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR FREE SPACE since we automatically take deductions from the measurements on your order to provide for this free space.

If you are planning to do a flush mount, please ensure that you have the space required to do so--you'll find the 'Flush mounting space required' under the Features tab for your blinds.

Height

Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places.

Take the largest of the three measurements.

Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement. This is the height you will order.

NOTE: Width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”

Width

Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.

Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 72", it might be helpful to order 76". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.

There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.

Fabric will be made at ordered width and headrail will be ordered width plus ¼”

Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement.

Height

Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.

We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.

Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 50” this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).

You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.

*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”
